What is a Slug?

A slug is a human-readable unique identifier that can be used in a URL instead of an ID or hash. This is common in content sites where the title of the article is "slugified" to turn this ugly URL

into this pretty one

http://example.com/your-article-title-here

How Slugs are Formatted

When supplied with a string, the following steps are taken to transform it into a slug.

Example Usage

Example 1: Using default options and using 2 fields for slug generation.

var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
    Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    URLSlugs = require('mongoose-url-slugs');

var testSchema = new Schema({
  first_name: {type: String, default: '', trim: true},
  last_name: {type: String, default: '', trim: true},
  rev: {type: String, default: '', trim: true}
});

testSchema.plugin(URLSlugs('first_name last_name'));

Example 2: Using 'myslug' key for storing slug.

var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
    Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    URLSlugs = require('mongoose-url-slugs');

var testSchema = new Schema({
  first_name: {type: String, default: '', trim: true},
  last_name: {type: String, default: '', trim: true},
  rev: {type: String, default: '', trim: true}
});

// Save slugs to 'myslug' field.
testSchema.plugin(URLSlugs('first_name last_name', {field: 'myslug'}));
